- Abstract
-
The interior of a room in the floor of which is sunk a circular bath. A lady (Lady Worsley), holding a little drapery, steps into it. Through a window high in the wall behind her (right) appear the head and shoulders of Captain Bisset. Outside the building (right) Sir R. Worsley stands on tip-toe holding Bisset, who sits on his shoulders; his hat is on the ground, and by it lies a paper inscribed "My Yoke is Easy & my Burden light". Bisset is saying, "Charming View of the Back Settlements Sir Richard". On the farther side of the bath (left) stands a maid-servant of attractive appearance, holding her mistress's clothes; she holds up her right hand saying, "Good lack! My Lady the Captn will see all for Nothing". On the back wall is nailed a 'Map of the Isle of Wight'. The ceiling of the room has a circle inset in the rectangle which may support a dome.
